I can buy in cattle fym for £4 tonne delivered to my farm. I then compost it which gets rid of any weed seeds and spread at 12 t/ha which is the equivalent of 20 t/ha of fresh manure. This is costing me just over £100/ha for the muck, composting and spreading.
Is that asking too much to recover the costs, it would mean the following two crops would have to have a yield gain of 1/2 tonne to get the money back.
Risky investment or no brainer?
